[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 647493, member: 4386"] No, roads are good to drill along (e.g. to get a complete linear cross-section of what is beneath). Local council gives permission (one letter) and no private agreements have to be reached with landowners for every property entered - can save $100,000 and up to 2 years of time. Not so good for most soil methods, as they depend on sampling the correct soil horizon, and areas along roads have usually been turned over. Worse, as Redfin notes, topping from elsewhere can be added, There is another reason why I am surprised for that particular geographic area, but a bit complex. HOWEVER road reserves that have never seen a graded or sealed road can be fantastic because the soil can be pristine.... [/QUOTE]
